Author Eli Cranor’s appearance at Ross Pendergraft Library and Technology Center at Arkansas Tech University was postponed due to severe weather that moved through the Arkansas River Valley on Monday, April 11.
The program has been rescheduled for Monday, April 18, beginning at 7 p.m. in room 300A of the library, which is located at 305 West Q Street in Russellville.

Published by Soho Crime, “Don’t Know Tough” won the Peter Lovesey First Crime Novel contest.
A native of Russellville, Cranor played college football at Florida Atlantic University and Ouachita Baptist University. He played professional football and was a high school football coach before settling with his wife and kids in his hometown, where he is a teacher in the Russellville School District.
